My first xj

[Jlanesey]

Just bought my first xj, had a tj I built a few years ago. Picked this thing up for a really sweet price on Thursday.

It's a 2000 sport I was friends with the previous owner so I know what went into it.

Clayton 6.5 long arm lift kit
JKS sway bar dcs
Proto fab front bumper
Heavy duty drag link
Atlas sye
Tom woods driveshaft
Rebuilt transmission
Moto-metal 16x10 rims
Interco trxus sts 33x12.5x16

I think it's definitely got potential.

Jeep sat for two years so today I changed all the fluids, replaced water pump thermostat and some hoses. Also dropped and drained gas tank and wire wheeled and undercoated rear section.

I'm definitely gonna take my time with it but I should be good to run by summer. This is my first jeep that isn't my daily driver so that is a bonus.

Kent is pretty close to me though. Just gotta get some real tires on this little guy. The trxus look cool but I don't know how much good they will be in the woods.
